Happy Independence Day!
It's been a hot week, but footings are poured and foundation forms are set. Work slowed a bit because of the Independence Day holiday mid-week, but pouring of the foundation walls and the setting of the under-slab plumbing should commence next week. There are a lot of steps to getting all of the plumbing hooked up and the excavation for the sewer started, so don't know how much progress people will be able to see above ground. Here are some pictures of the surveying for the footings.

The contractor's name is Ed and the company he runs is Garden City Builders. Thanks to parents Anne Myers, Mark Wilson, and Kathleen Harper and teacher Shirley Atkins for checking in on the watering of trees and grass - it's been a challenge to keep things watered with the construction, but we're trying to maintain life around the construction zone so it won't be a complete desert by the time school's back in session.
